Detailed Solution

The given equation is 5 3x1 ÷25=125.  
Therefore we have,
5 3x1 25 =125   5 3x1 =125×25= 5 3 × 5 2   Apply a m × a n = a m+n   in the above equation, then
5 3x1 = 5 3 +2 5 3x1 = 5 5   Comparing the powers of the above equation, we get,
    3x1=5 3x=5+1 3x=6 x=2   Therefore the value of x   is 2.
Hence, option (2) is correct.
